He campaigned successfully against the remains of East Roman power in Hipania, strengthened Visigothic control over the Basques and Cantabrians, developed friendly relations with the Lombards of Italy, and reinforced the fleet which had been established by his predecessor Leovigild.
Sisebut was known for his devout piety to Chalcedonian Christianity. In 616, he ordered that those Jews who refused to convert to Christianity should be punished with the lash.
